Publishing an e-book

Google Books

Google Play Books currently carries over 4 million titles, comprising the world’s largest selection of ebooks. Books and magazines on Google Play are compatible with Android phones and tablets, iPhones, iPads, iPod touch devices, most web browsers and eReaders. Controls such as swipe to turn the page, tap to zoom, various displays, easy bookmarking and search functions are all included.

How it works

Once your book has been uploaded to Google it will be listed as a result in the library. When a user clicks on your title, the book is viewable in a limited capacity until the item is purchased.

Kindle Publishing on Amazon

Making your book available as an eBook on Amazon.com enables you to reach millions of Kindle readers via the Amazon kindle book store. You can earn up to 70% of the royalty while having the control to set your own price. Publishing is fast and your book will usually appear on the Kindle store within a day. As well as publishing in English, it is also possible to publish in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. Other features include linking to the print version, editing the book once published and links to your website.

How it works

Amazon works similarly to Google. Once uploaded, your book is listed as a result in the library and can be viewed using the ‘look inside’ feature in a limited “preview” capacity until the item is purchased.
